Hope everyone has had a great spring and early summer. The heat and the bugs are bad, so time to catch up on news.
Rose Oaks County Park: Great news! The 3rd Annual Ride the Rose sponsored by Headwater Trails, Inc. and Oakland County Parks as a fundraiser for equestrian friendly trails in northwest Oakland County is coming up on August 26, 2007. The flyer, registration form and pledge form are all attached to this email and are downloadable. The Great News is that August 26th will be the grand opening of the trails at Rose Oaks to equestrians. After this day, the trails in the park will allow equestrians as one of their regular users. Yeah! There will be limited trailer parking until they construct the trailer staging area, but at least riding will now be available. Let’s show up, help Headwaters Trails and show Oakland County how much we appreciate the opening of these trails to equestrians.

December 12th, 2006
Well our lovely late Indian Summer weather finally ended and the frigid, wet weather has moved in. I hope you all had a good spring, summer and fall whether it is trail riding, showing or raising babies. I will try to catch you up on rumors or news that has been circulating around and there has been lots going on.
Thanks to Claire Hammond for her classified ad and to donations from PJ Tomalin of Wolcott Mills Trail Riders and Julie Ferhtman, equine attorney, Merle has now been totally repaid for her out of pocket payment of 2006 expenses. Our deep thanks to our 2006 supporters. I would like to solicit support for the 2007 website expenses, so we can have funds available when next year’s bills come due in June.
Government Officials visit our website quite frequently, so we want to make sure it continues. We would like to solicit some advertising, as we do get requests for boarding facilities especially. Also if you have anything for sale, please think of posting an ad. With the ad on the website, I also email the ad to over 200 equestrians on my list serve. Just click on the Classified Tab on our website at www.oaklandequestrians.org for rates or email Merle.
Polly Ann Trail Update: The Polly Ann Trail is open, the pedestrian bridge is in place over M-24 and the surface, which had stones way too big for all users, has been refinished and is totally acceptable for horses. Our thanks go out to Ed and Cathy Brakefield and Addison Township for hanging tough for equestrians. TheDNR has come up with grants to pay for the resurfacing. As for the mile of asphalt in the Village of Leonard passing by the equestrian staging area, a side trail has been engineered and it is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2007. We’ll look forward to the equestrian events on the Polly Ann Trail soon.
Lakelands Trail Update: Many of you know that the Lakelands Trail in Hamburg Township has been asphalted. Along most of its length there is four foot dirt path on one side that equestrians can use. There are a few tight spots, but all efforts are being made to make sure equestrians are accommodated. Anita Maynard of the Brighton Trail Riders in active in the Friends of the Lakelands Trail, and is working to make sure equestrians are accommodated. Some of the initial concern was before the contractor had finished his work. Hopefully all will find the trail acceptable.
Rose Oaks County Park: Oakland County has finished the public input portion of the Master Plan for Rose Oaks County Park. Compilation of comments is proceeding and sometime in early to mid 2007, the master plan should be completed. It looks very positive that equestrians will be given access on a daily basis to the trails at Rose Oaks. Planning will proceed for a 3rd Annual Ride the Rose and Cruise the Connector. A date will be chosen in early spring 2007.
Equestrian Trail Riding Events: If you are in an equestrian group and would like your events placed on the Schedule for Southeastern Michigan, please email them to Merle at merlerichmond@sbcglobal.net by the end of February. If you have any events before March that you want publicized, please send them and I will see that they get on the calendar on the website. Just give me the event, date, time, a short description and a contact phone number. Hope to have the schedule out by expo time the middle of March.
Pontiac Lake Horseman’s Association 6th Annual Western Barn Dance: Saturday, February 24, 2007, 8 p.m. until midnight. Tickets are now available from Susie Sulla at Us5495@ameritech.net or 248-889-3799. Price is $20 per person, which includes dancing, soft drinks/mixers and munchies. Bring you own adult beverages. It’s a popular event and always sells out. Tickets would make a nice Christmas present.
Michigan Equine Survey: With the receipt of a $50,000 grant from the state legislature helped along by the Michigan Equine Partnership, most funding is in place to begin the survey next spring. The survey will be done on a sampling basis, with 4,000 questionnaires mailed out to people involved in the state’s horse industry.
Information collected from the survey will be useful in determining the equine industry’s contribution to the state’s economy. This information can then be presented to local and
state government officials who make decisions and policies on zoning and land use, trail access, tax laws and other issues affecting horse owners. If you receive this questionnaire, please cooperate by filling it out. Some properties may also be surveyed by pollsters knocking on the doors of horse properties. All information collected is protected by law. The last comprehensive survey in Michigan was done in 1996.
NAIS: Animal Identification won’t be Mandatory:
This is the latest information I have received on the National Animal Identification System.
By LIBBY QUAID, AP Food and Farm Writer Wed Nov 22, 4:36 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Farmers and ranchers won’t be forced to register their cows, pigs and chickens in a nationwide database aimed at helping track the outbreak of disease, the Bush administration said Wednesday.
Hoping to dampen widespread opposition to the animal tracking program, the Agriculture Department has decided it should remain voluntary.
“Really embracing this as a voluntary program will help the trust issues that some farmers and ranchers have been raised about the national animal identification system,” said Bruce Knight, undersecretary for marketing and regula
“I’m certainly hoping to move beyond some of the very emotional debates on animal ID,” Knight said in an interview with The Associated Press.
First promised in response to the discovery of mad cow disease in this country, the tracking system would pinpoint an animal’s movements within 48 hours after a disease was discovered.
Investigators never found all 80 of the cattle that came to the U.S. from Canada with the infected dairy cow that became the country’s first case of mad cow disease in 2003.
Many cattle ranchers are wary of the program because they want records kept confidential and don’t want to pay for the system. The industry estimates it could cost more than $100 million annually.
OVETS: Ohio Valley Equestrian Trails Symposium will be held at Midwest Trail Ride, in Norman, Indiana, June 21-24. It’s a beautiful place to ride, close to Brown County, Indiana. Seminars are scheduled to leave time to ride. More information will be forthcoming.
MICHIGAN HORSE COUNCIL FUN TRAILS WEEKEND: September 21-23 at Pontiac Lake Recreation Area, so mark your calendar and come have some fun. More details will follow.
Pontiac Lake Recreation Area Master Plan Public Meeting:
The DNR is holding a public meeting to review and discuss a draft of the Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area master plan. The meeting will be held Sunday January 28, 2007 2pm-4pm at the Oakland County Sportsman’s Club at 4770 Waterford Road, Clarkston, MI. The time is from 7-9 p.m. All users are welcome. Equestrians need to show up and voice their opinions. Mountain Bikers are looking to expand their usage to the West side of the park and reclaim the trail up by Teggerdine. Bring constructive ideas and voice them. If you like the changes that have occurred at the park, please praise the DNR and the Pontiac Lake Horseman’s Association for their work.
Schoolcraft College-Equine Program:
Contrary to rumor, the Schoolcraft College Equine Program has not been discontinued; however, they have decreased the number of classes offer because of decreased demand. For the winter 2007 semester, they are offering only one course. It is Equine Sports Massage and will be offered on April 28 & 29 from 9-4 somewhere in Highland Township. Call the college for further information at 1-734-462-4400 and ask for Continuing Education.
Michigan State is Offering Horse Classes on Line:
The current class being offered is “Horse Behavior and Welfareâ€. You do not have to be registered at the university, just go online to www.myhorseuniversity.com and you can register. The cost for this class is $200.
Modern Horse Campgrounds:
Ortonville has a grant to start the design and engineering for a modern equestrian campground with 100 spaces. They plan also to greatly increase the number of miles of trails. Obviously this process will take several years.
Brighton Recreation Area is also looking into a possible modern campground at a prison site that will soon be abandoned by the state, so stay tuned to Brighton.
White Lake Township News:
White Lake Township has announced that they have purchased the 20 acre horse farm on Porter and Grass Lake Roads. Plans for the property have not been finalized, but it is located along a utility corridor that is being considered as a trail linkage between Highland Recreation Area and Pontiac Lake Recreation Area. Time will tell and we will know more later.
I think that about wraps up everything I have been able to find out. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope to see many of you out and about in the horsy world come spring.
Other Interesting Tidbits:
1. Equestrian Land Conservation Resource: I would encourage all equine
organizations and individuals to join this group that is working to protect riding land all over the country. Check out their website at www.elcr.org
2. Horse Quest: Michigan State University has set up a website at www.extension.org/horses, that will provide news, events, frequently asked questions, and “Ask the Expert†features as well as in-depth learning modules on equine related topics. This is an interactive site, so check it out.
3. Be a part of an Equine Behavioral Research Study: Study investigating stereotypic behaviors in the Michigan Horse Population. The on-line survey is completely voluntary and anonymous. You can easily access the questionnaire at the following website: www.ippsr.msu.edu.

Highway Administration clarifies horse access to certain trails
WASHINGTON — The American Horse Council reports that the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has publicly clarified that equestrians are allowed on shared-use paths and trails that use Federal-aid transportation funds.
The notice, posted on the FHWA website, is a positive step forward in acknowledging equestrian activity on public land.

Update
October 20, 2004
l. Equestrian Opportunities in Oakland County†brochure is already in its third printing and
hopefully you have picked one up at one of the county parks or State Recreation Areas. They
will also be available at trail events and at the Novi Horse Spectacular, November 12-14.
2. Camp Has-O-Rec in Rose Township has been cleaned up and secured thanks to 26 equestrian
volunteers who worked hard from 5:30 –8:30 p.m., August 10, 11, 12, 2004. Thanks to all
those volunteers who did so much dirty work. We have no guarantee that we will get
equestrian usage there, but we showed our willingness to work so that we are included in the
Headwaters Trails. Thanks again.
3. Our presentation was presented on July 15th to the Oakland County Board of Township
Supervisors. This had led to invitations to present at Milford Township. That presentation
will be on Thursday, September 30, 2004 at 7:30 p.m. in the Civic Center, behind the Post
Office. We don’t know the exact place on the agenda, but I will send the specific time when I
get it. I would like for Milford equestrians to show up and show their interest. The greenway
that will connect Milford, Highland and White Lake Townships should be in the planning stage
very soon. We will also be giving our presentation in Holly Township and Groveland Township
in the near future. A presentation was also planned for the Michigan Horse Council at their
regular monthly meeting on October 5, 2004.
I have also attached a copy of the list of our accomplishments so far. It appears that Oakland County Parks is finally on board for equestrians.

Oakland Equestrian Coalition Accomplishments
Since February 19, 2003 Original Meeting
1. We are a recognized voice for equestrians in Oakland County with an Ad Hoc membership to
the Oakland County Trails Advisory Council (OTAC).
2. Oakland County asked equestrians what they wanted from Oakland County, and with the help
help of Larry Falardeau of Oakland County Planning and Economic Development, we were
able to put together a presentation of our needs. This presentation has been presented to
a. OTAC
b. Oakland County Parks Commissioners
c. Oakland County Parks and Recreation
d. Oakland County Commissioners
e. Oakland County Board of Supervisors
f. Highland Township
g. Rose Township Planning Commission
h. Michigan Horse Council Stallion Expo in March 2004
i. White Lake Township Planning Commission
j. Milford Township to be given September 30, 2004
k. Michigan Horse Council Monthly Meeting, October 5, 2004
We look forward to presenting it to many other townships and trails commissions.
3. We organized a total census for Highland and Rose Townships, and spot census data from
from several other townships. We are still looking for counts from Lyon, Holly, Brandon,
Oxford and Oakland Townships. If you can help, please contact us.
4. Oakland County Parks and Rec has produced an “Equestrian Opportunities in Oakland
County†brochure, which has been placed in Oakland County Parks as well as State Parks
located in Oakland County.
5. After many Oakland County Parks people as well as some from Planning and Economic
Development attended the Michigan Horse Council’s Stallion Expo in March using compli- mentary tickets provided by the Michigan Horse Council, they realized the huge economic enterprise the horse industry in Michigan and Oakland County is. They have now joined forces with the Oakland County 4-H Board to expand Springfield Oaks County Park into a premier, regional Equestrian Center. They gathered data to indicate that 37,000 horses are within a 1.5-hour drive of Springfield Oaks’ new equestrian center. They already have grants and funding for $2 million of the proposed $3 million cost for this. This will be the first equestrian trailhead in Oakland County. They are currently making about 5 miles of equestrian trails in the park and will have them signed very soon.
-2-
6. Oakland County Parks is currently laying out equestrian trails in Addison Oaks County Park
in Addison Township. They will also add some modern equestrian camping sites and will
hopefully connect Addison Oaks to the Polly Ann Trail which was originally planned around
equestrian usage.
7. Oakland County Parks will begin the master planning process for Rose Oaks County Park,
located in Rose Township, at the end of 2004 or the beginning of 2005. Oakland County Parks
is committed to talking to and working with Rose Township to make Rose Oaks an equestrian
park.
8. We are trying to organize trail riders around Holly and Bald Mountain Recreation Areas to
reestablish the historical equestrian presence in these two Oakland County State Recreation
areas.
9. We have established a list serve for disseminating information of importance to Oakland
Equestrians.
10. With the financial donations of generous sponsors, we have established a website that is up
and running. Please check it out at www.oaklandequestrians.org.
We will continue to try and represent all Oakland County Equestrian interests. If we haven’t represented your interests, please contact us and tell us about them.

Meeting held on May 6th at the Lone Tree Inn on Milford Road.
The powerpoint presentation was approved by the members present with a few minor changes.
It was agreed that the following would be the preferred order for presentations:
Oakland County Commissioners
Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Individual Townships anytime after the first two presentations
Individual Trails Councils (Huron Valley, Headwaters, etc.)
Oakland County Planners
Oakland County Parks and Recreation
Road Commission of Oakland County
Any Equestrian Groups that are interested.
It was decided to ask the Oakland County Trails Council, what type of data they would be interested in before we send out volunteers to go door to door.
May 14th Meeting of the Oakland County Trails Advisory Council
At this meeting the voting members of the Council agreed that we as equestrians did not need to go door to door and count individual horses.
They will be happy if we count horses in a couple of square miles in each township.
They would also like the number of boarding, training, breeding facilities in each township.
We should especially be sure to count horses in the vicinity of trails or parks where we are requesting access.
We need volunteers for each township.
I currently have volunteers to head the counts in Springfield Township, Milford Township and Rose Township in the vicinity of Rose Oaks.
If you know equestrians in other townships, please have them email the Oakland Equestrian Coalition and let us know. We should get on this count ASAP.
